(Radio Iowa) – After about two-and-a-half years on the job, Burlington Police Chief Marc Denney has stepped down, with his resignation taking effect immediately. City Manager Chad Bird says for the time being, he will not appoint an interim chief.

Bird says he will talk to the city council, police department staff, and citizens about the department’s future and the qualities they would like to see in a police chief. He says Denney did not give a reason for his resignation.
